Make Your Film
🎬 Episode 31 - Steady & Strong
"The future depends on what we do in the present." – Mahatma Gandhi
As Gandhi so eloquently put it, your future film depends on what you do right now.
Hi, I’m Denis O’Brien, and this is Make Your Film.
Are You Doing the Work Today?
You have a chance every day to move toward your finished film. So ask yourself:
✅ Are you making progress today?
✅ Are you checking your master list? (You know I love lists.)
✅ Are you setting a daily plan to move forward?
If you have a day job, carve out time early in the morning or late at night—but make the work happen.
Stop Complaining. Start Doing.
As Esther Hicks says: Get ready to get ready to get ready.
🚫 Stop bitching—seriously.
🔄 Whatever you complain about, you attract more of—it’s a law of attraction.
👀 If social media makes you envious, look away.
📰 If people are ranting about politics or bad news, don’t get sucked in.
The 4-Step Mindset for Filmmakers
1️⃣ Set a Goal – Define what you want.
2️⃣ Continuously Improve – Make steady progress every day.
3️⃣ Forget the Past – Stop dwelling on past failures.
4️⃣ Focus on the Future – Look ahead and do the work.
